This is my Quick and Cozy Cardigan in Cascade's Soft Spun, the sweater I started during my birthday weekend out at Edgefield. It has knit up quickly, and the yarn is so lovely to work with. It's so soft, and so pink! I love it!

I just have the second sleeve to finish and sew in, but I'm about halfway done with that. And then I need to finish up the collar.I can tell I'll be wearing this sweater a lot!

Here's a pic of my Tweedy Aran Cardigan, as promised. This is the left front. I'd better get busy, it's supposed to be done for class this Sunday!

I'm really loving the yarn I chose for this project! And what a great name for a yarn, Therapi. That is exactly what knitting is for me, therapy. And the pattern is really fun and interesting. The perfect combination of challenging and enjoyable; which makes it relaxing for me!

Here's Vivianne, modeling her lovely finished sweater. I'm making mine using Therapi by South West Trading Company. Such nummy yarn! It's an incredibly soft blend of jadeite, wool and silk fibers; with a beautiful sheen! And although the pink is just lovely, I chose turquoise to knit up this sweater!

"I'm lying alone with my head on the phoneThinking of you til it hurtsI know you hurt too, but what else can we doTormented and torn apartI wish I could carry your smile in my heartFor times when my life seems so lowIt would make me believe what tomorrow could bringWhen today doesn't really know, doesn't really know...

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you..."

Oh yes, you recognize those lyrics...you might even be singing the words. Maybe you're like me, and you know all the words to all the songs? Yes, I'm talking about Air Supply...

Brad took me to Chinook Winds last weekend to see Russell and Graham (or should I say I forced Brad to take me!). For those who share my love of Air Supply, it was quite wonderful! They sound exactly the same, and it was a fun show! For those who don't share my taste in music...stop laughing! This is not an April Fool's joke!
